Teacher Instructions for New Realize Users

You can easily access your digital curriculum via Realize and connect your Google Classroom

classes. This handout outlines steps for teachers who are new to Realize and need to import

their Google Classroom classes to Realize.

Step 2: Import (Sync) a Google Classroom Class to Realize

You can easily import your Google Classroom Classes to Realize.

It is recommended that your Google Classroom is completely set up with all of your students

(invited and accepted) before importing to Realize so that assignments are not missed. Students

added at a later time will not see assignments added prior to adding them to the class.

When you import a class from Google Classroom into Realize, you are creating a brand new class

in Realize. This new class will not have any previously created assignments or grades. Students who

access assignments made to this class via Google Classroom will not see their old assignments

created in the previous class. Students can continue to use their preexisting Realize account to

access their old work, but they will use their Google Classroom account and always go to Google

Classroom first.

1. Sign in to Realize with your district teacher username and

password.

2. Click the icon in the top menu bar, and then

select Settings.

3. In the Account tab, scroll to the Account Linking section

and click Get Started.

4. If prompted, select or enter your Google Classroom sign in

information.

5. Click Allow to grant Realize access to your Google

Classroom account.

8. Click Finish & View Classes.

Classes imported (synced) from Google Classroom appear in your class list with a Google

Classroom icon to the left of the class name.

9. Create a Realize assignment for the imported class. This provides an access link for your

students to go directly to Realize from Google Classroom. Alternatively, a Google Classroom

material link can be created. Click here to learn how!

10. The first time students access a Realize assignment from Google Classroom, they are

prompted to provide their Google Classroom sign in information and grant Realize access to

their Google Classroom account. Until they have granted Realize access to Google Classroom,

they will display as Needs to Connect in the Students & groups, Assignments by student,

and assignment student status lists.
